93: Menopause - Catalyst for a Healthier Lifestyle
Women In-Depth: Conversations about the Inner Lives of WomenShow Notes
"I don't know that we're in a culture that supports a woman taking care of herself first, it's really something that needs to be taught and I think probably the biggest thing that needs to be taught is self love and self compassion. I think we know how to be compassionate toward other people but I don't think we know how to use compassion on ourselves, how to be kind to ourselves."
Dr. Deb Butler is a board certified chiropractor and acupuncturist, a certified nutritionist and master life and weight loss coach who helps women from all walks of life going through menopause end their struggle with weight. Dr. Deb Butler utilizes a blend of brain science, nutrition, physiology, life coaching and life lessons to help clients embrace real weight loss starting from the inside.
When her lifelong struggle with her weight collided with the arrival of menopause, Dr. Deb realized how misguided her perception of both had been all along. Through research, courses and plenty of exploration, she has constructed a program to reframe how one views weight, balance and oneself. Join us this week as Dr. Deb shares how you can improve your weight and your life for good!

"[Dissociation] can happen with anything that is overwhelming or intense and I think it is important, especially to those who are highly sensitive, to be aware of because it's not just perceived danger or a lot of anxiety or stress. It can be something very positive that you actually want." [9:20]
"The body never lies and that is the truth."
"A large part of the work of The Mind-Body Stress Reset is coming to understand how important those sensations that run through your body are - coming to value them. I think we are a culture that overvalues our thinking-self and undervalues our feeling-self." [51:10]
